We used to dream about computers in our pocket or attached to our body - and it's finally happened: 1.3 billion people are now living with mobile phones and tablets and these mobile devices have eclipsed PCs as our primary computing devices. That was just one of the revelations last night at ReadWriteMix as Flurry CEO Simon Khalaf joined host Owen Thomas, editor-in-chief of ReadWrite, for an evening of conversation at ReadWriteMix about our mobile future and the big shifts in mobile in the year ahead.

Thanks for watching!

Flurry's analytics service tracks more than 1.3 trillion data points and follows more mobile users than Facebook or Twitter – so they know a lot about what we do on our phones and tablets. Among the other things Khalaf shared:

There is no more Black Friday or Cyber Monday spike anymore – Black Friday happens all the time with mobile

Messaging and chat apps are the dialtone of the industry

During the PC era 85% of software was made in U.S. – with apps it's less than 25-30%

A phone is a wearable device – and it's more accessible than our wallets

The development of apps is accelerating – and you can always find 50 million people to use your app (corollary: 50 million is the new 5 million)

Social is mobile and a feature of the mobile experience

The best days of investing in mobile are ahead of us

ReadWrite will be posting an in-depth recap (Update: The ReadWrite recap is here) and some video highlights from the evening soon. In the meantime, here are some favorite moments from the crowd, which was live-tweeting the event:

Chat apps are the dialogue layer on top of mobile, media is the next level.. #readwritemix
